howcome you guys think that its so bad, its unique. Its something that you never see. Isn't it right that in our scene, thats its most important to be different. Well that is. Oh and if you see me at the spot, dont hound me about, I didn't think of the name. I just support it, and sport it on my car. we have gotten a lot of good comments about our team and the name, so personally, i dont think that its that bad.

There's a difference between unique in a "that's clever" sense, and unique in a "holy shit that's fucking stupid" sense.
This falls into the latter category.
Being different because you don't want to be like everyone else means that your being different like all the other people who are trying to be different. If the sole purpose of the name was to come up with something "different", you would have been better off picking Scrabble tiles randomly out of a hat. At least it wouldn't come across as being so damn contrived.
People think it's a dumb name because it's a dumb name. It doesn't take much more reading into it than that.
